so ive decided im going to do an engine swap and tranny swap on the civic instead since it will also be a lot cheaper..im thinking a K20 swap...then put in a t3/t4 turbo..its going to be a DD though so idk if turbo is such a smart idea lol what do you guys think I should do? I don't wanna do a B16 though cause then my car will be EXACTLY like one of my friends same color and everything lol once I swap it im going to sell the rims I currently have on it get smaller ones and get some coilovers..maybe camber it also



Best shot I have on my laptop right now lol, also before anyone points it out my tires were mounted the wrong way got them corrected now though.

 

Another EM1 ripped apart...may it rest in peace..

 

Ej8..........and hows it ripped apart? lmao it has fenders that I need to replace and nice rims, so please continue to talk about how I ruined it smh is it everyone on here that thinks their tough **** or what

 

what is your definition of cheap? swapping any k series is serious bucks..
if you wanna be different from your friend, you can swap in an h series, you don't see that as often as b series swaps.

 

Honda and the word different are oxymorons. It's your car. Do what you want. NO need to ask for an opinion.

 

I mean im looking to spend around 1500 for a motor than about 1k for tranny swap..is the H Series motor pushing out more HP than the B series? sorry don't really know too much about all that since I never gave it any thought to swap mine before lol

 

If that's all you're looking to spend you're definitely not gonna get a K

Throw some more money down and swap in a B18C

 

$1,500? Keep saving.

 

what ?

if you'r total swap budget is 2.5K a K-swap isn't happening

 

$1500 will get you a stolen k20 swap off craigslist with a hacked wiring harness. save up, do things right the first time, read the **** out of this forum, and don't "maybe camber it also".

 

4600 just for the k20a2, thats without everything else that is needed. (at least where i am located)

 

:O guess I have some research to do

 

Once you swap let me have your B16

 

Chill bro, I as wrong on which car you have, big f'n deal. Also, I wasn't talking trash, I haven't even commented on what you plan to do....

But most here are right, K is not in your future for a $1500 budget. Maybe a decent suspension upgrade, but no K.

 

1500 gets you a nice k24a2 longblock and that's about it

 

Yea yea my friend told me 1500 so clearly he doesn't know anything lol how about a B18c1? How much are they going for? Id have to have the complete setup and id be doing a manual trans swap from my normal auto

 

I wouldn't buy one for less than 2.5K it's a good engine tho for what you pay. save tho

 

Sell your car, buy a manual and save yourself the time and money.

 

Sorry, I get defensive pretty quick lmao but thanks man..prolly should do research before makin an *** of myself on a forum haha

 

Welp, ya see...I would...but this was my first car my mom got me when I got my permit which was 4 1/2 years ago so its in her name...and she refuses to write it off to me to sell -_-
